The invention discloses a high-efficiency sidelobe suppression
linear array antenna based on three-section
hybrid drive, and the antenna comprises the following steps: 1, setting the number of array elements,
array element spacing and a three-section
hybrid drive channel division mode according to the demands of
gain, scanning range and expected channel number; 2, initializing normal excitation, and establishing a
phase compensation model to obtain initial excitation of each beam; step 3, utilizing an iterative convex optimization
algorithm to establish an iterative model of a
channel power average value and a compensation phase, so that the power of each channel is the same, and the maximum sidelobe level of all beams is minimized; and step 4, performing phase-only optimization on each wave beam to obtain excitation of the wave beam when the wave beam meets the minimum sidelobe level. According to the invention, three-section
hybrid driving can be utilized in the
linear array, the number of channels is reduced, the power of each channel is ensured to be the same, the upper limit power of the required power
amplifier is reduced, the cost of the
system is reduced, and the
beam scanning function of sidelobe suppression is efficiently realized.
